To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Third, the papers provide documentation oi a cabinetmakers en- trepreneurial activities. Through his New York connections such as Isaac Cross, Cowling sold Virginia coal and tobacco. Cabinetmakers who could financially manage it engaged in entrepreneurial activities to further increase their capital."' Eighteenth century Charleston cabinetmaker, Thomas Elte, increased his income by owning rental property and a plantation." Finally, the papers concern southern cabinetmakers and northern furnitur...e. In the nineteenth century southern cabinetmakers were having to compete with northern imports. Some southern cabinet- makers became retailers of northern furniture while others moved to towns further inland to escape this competition."' Cowling seemed to have taken a middle of the road approach. He continued to oper- ate his cabinetmaking shop, but imported raw materials and pre- made parts from the North. Thus regional stylistic features that ex- isted in Richmond lurniture would begin to give way to the national Empire sr\'le in furniture."" In conclusion it is hoped that this article will encourage others to further research the points mentioned above as well as identify furniture by Cowling and other early-nineteenth- century Richmond furnituremakers.
